About: I’ve taken care of mine and my family’s pets since I was 14 years old. I’ve had multiple pets myself. I have reptiles as well! I do work at a frozen daiquiri company as a manager. I rarely ever go in to the actual stores. I make sure they all have everything they need to run. I just need a little something on the side I do know how to somewhat train, I personally trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. If any accidents happen inside they will be promptly cleaned and sanitized.
“Kylie exceeded all expectations! She sent me updates and pictures every day. Circe seems to love her. My house was as I had left it. She will definitely be my go to dog sitter.”

About: With 18 years of hands-on farm experience caring for dogs and cats. I treat every pet like my own. Your animal is safe, loved, and in experienced hands. Pet care is my full-time passion. I am available all day, every day to feed, walk, play with, and monitor your pet. Animals are my life and my priority. My home and environment are calm, safe, and loving. With 18 years of animal care experience, I handle every pet with patience and trust. Your furry family member is always in good hands.

“Sirrine has house/dog sat for us twice & we couldn't be happier with her! Our pups are loved & well cared for when she's taking care of them & we have complete peace of mind leaving them and our home in her care. We always come home and the house seems like it is cleaner than when we left it lol! Sirrine always sends us update pics of our dogs while away as well so we can see they're being their normal, lazy selves. I highly recommend her for your house/pet sitting needs.”

“Jada was absolutely excellent! Jada provided outstanding care for our sweet fur baby. Her detailed updates with photos and videos were incredibly reassuring and did 100% justice to her fantastic service. She stayed in our home and made us feel completely at ease. I’ll admit I was nervous after a previous bad cat sitting experience, so I left extensive notes about our pet’s care and routine. Jada wasn’t fazed by this at all and completely understood our concerns about having a stranger in our home. Her professionalism and genuine understanding put us right at ease. We really enjoyed having Jada care for our pet and can’t wait to have her back for our next trip. Highly recommended!”

“Kat had a great attitude and was open to whatever we needed done. The pets were safe and happy when we got home. We have a lot of pets, so it was a big job. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Once I moved out on my own, I got two cats, so I also have a lot of hands-on experience with cats and understand their personalities (and moods lol). I’ve been helping take care of family and friends’ pets since I was about 16, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. I’m really good at picking up on each animal’s personality—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or just want to chill and nap all day. I’m also comfortable taking care of other pets like fish, turtles, and similar animals. Overall, I just really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m available most days, including some weekends! I’m an online student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust my hours to fit what your pet needs. I offer drop-in visits and walks, and I always try to keep your pet’s routine the same so they feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need. I do all care in your home since I have two cats of my own!
“Kimberly took excellent care of our home and pets while we were away for 8 days. It gave us peace of mind to know that she was watching over things while we were away. Our dog loved her, honestly I don’t even think she realized that we were gone. Kimberly sent us photos and updates about our dog and bird every day, which was reassuring to our children. Kimberly also took care of our mail and packages and watered our plants. She left our home tidy and we are very appreciative of her services. We will definitely use her again.”

“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”

“Ashlyn did an amazing job watching over our pets and home including watering our plants. Our dog loves her. She is reliable and communicates well, and also sent frequent updates and photos. It gave our family peace of mind knowing she was taking care of things. She left our house tidy and we would be glad to have her back anytime.”

“April took care of our 3 pups. She genuinely loves dogs and it shows in the level of care she gives. She was also very understanding of the current living condition in our house! Thank you so much, April!”

“I have 2 senior dogs and Melinda was amazing with them. My German shepherd’s warmed up to her almost immediately. She went above what was needed while looking after them both. I will book with her the next time we have to travel.”

“Pon is such a blessing! I have two mini dachshunds, both who are pretty needy, and Pon was so understanding and attentive to their needs. He sent me a picture or two each day while we were gone on our week long vacation. He was very respectful of our home and left it better than he found it. I’m so glad we found Pon for our baby doggy sitter!”

“This was my first time ever using the rover app and was super happy with the experience. Olivia was amazing and did so well with my animals. She even got my shy cat to come out and be social. Olivia was great at communication and kept me well updated along with photos of my babies having fun!”

“Aubrianna was the best house sitter I’ve had . She was on time and kept me up to date on everything about my dog. I felt very comfortable with her there and keeping an eye on everything . I will book again in the near future”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”

Vickie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our precious Yorkie, Percy. She went above and beyond even in bringing in packages for us. She was fabulous about sending daily pics of our baby. I would definitely recommend her and I’ll be using her again.

Jennifer house sat for our cats and dog over Thanksgiving and we are so glad we found her! We'd been losing hope of finding a sitter for the holidays but not only was Jennifer available, she also did a great job! We had a lot of specific instructions because some of our cats don't get along and some are on prescription food, but she followed all of them without any issues, and she sent updates and photos multiple times each day. I would definitely recommend Jennifer!
